Priests for Life
www.priestsforlife.org
Priests for Life has come to signify two distinct but related movements within the wider pro-life movement.  On one level Priests for Life refers to a specific effort to galvanize the clergy to preach, teach, and galvanize their people more effectively in the effort to end abortion and euthanasia.  On another level, PFL represents a family of ministries that reach and enrich every aspect of the pro-life movement.  This is because priests are ordained for the people, not for themselves.  PFL refers to the wider family of ministries as Gospel of Life Ministries, uniting them all in the good news that life is victorious over death.

Human Life and Dignity: As a gift from God, every human life is sacred from conception to natural death. The life and dignity of every person must be respected and protected at every stage and in every condition. The right to life is the first and most fundamental principle of human rights that leads Catholics to actively work for a world of greater respect for human life and greater commitment to justice and peace.
